Research direction

Read include/mapbox/vector_tile/builder.hpp at lines 48-59 to verify how negative IDs and IDs not typed as int64_t or uint64_t are handled. Confirm whether this behavior is intentional, then document the supported and ignored ID types; done means the documented behavior matches the implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

2.x

IDs < 0 and IDs not of type int64_t or uint64_t are simply ignored here:
https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile/blob/2.x/include/mapbox/vector_tile/builder.hpp#L48-L59

Is this correct? If yes, I think it needs to be documented.
